On dangerous ground : teaching sensitive topics in post-secondary education

Abstract

"How do we address phenomena or words that make some people in the classroom uncomfortable? How can we limit teachers’ discomfort when comes the time to deal with topics that may offend sensitivities in the context of learn ing activities? In this article, there is no "magic bullet" or formula, just a nuanced portrait of what sensitive topics are, and an overview of possible approaches to facilitate social cohesion." -- AQPC
